Nice. Are these prices just for the weekend or for longer stays?

The hotel looks very good. Both times we have had the WC in Germany we have enjoyed very good and affordable hotels, and so it seems it will happen in his edition.

However, I must say I am a bit concerned about the coincidence of the city festival, our own event, and to see that there have been prebooked only 5 single rooms. I did not make a search, but it seems logic that mostly any other weekend would be cheaper, and would allow kickoffers to a wider time window to book. Mind you that most people are usually choosing single rooms (as for me, it is the only option), and also every year we add a few more players in the last weeks before the WC, option that may not be available under these proposed dates in a city with big festival, and few and expensive hotel options available.

Am I too wrong? Is it not that serious? Maybe, but I thought I would say it now, when there is still time to do something else.

We had the World Cup in Cologne during the carnival. Huge fun, no problems.

I guess a good advice would be to book in advance. I have done so. Planetickets bought, so naturally I would oppose strongly to a change of dates. Hotelroom booked.

Rodolfo if we need more Single Rooms, that is not a problem. I am in Contact with the hotel and we can make changes anytime. There are enough Rooms availabel. I just make a reservation for 65 people in total!!! In worst case szenario some people have to share rooms, if they book late.. But i expect that a lot of players wanted to book doubles or family rooms because of the price.

And dont worry about the price. The price is very good and only a littel higher than normal. I think if some wanted to stay longer, the price will be cheaper. The Freimarkt ends on Sunday the 03.

I have opted for a single room.

My hotel room is now booked and confirmed.

Good man!

Thank you very much for the clarifications

very nice, thanks!
From Milan we don't have a direct flight to Bremen but Hamburg is good too.
I was looking for a way to get Bremen from Hamburg airport. I checked on line but I wasn't that good to find some good information about that. of course I found something but not that relevant.
Please could you provide some time table and price form Hamburg airport to get Bremen central station?
Train or bus if possible (if I wasn't wrong, with train there is no a direct trip but at least one change, on the other side there should be a direct bus to Bremen)
thanks in advance!
cheers!

Yes it is correct, that there is no direct conection between the Airport Hamburg and the Central Station Bremen. You have to go to Hamburg Central Station first and from there direct to Bremen CS. It took one and a half hour.
The cheapest way is to buy a Niedersachsenticket. It cost 24 € for the first Person and 5 € per every extra Person up to 5 Persons. For example, if you are 5 Persons you pay 24 € + 4 x 5€= 44 €. That is 8,80 € per Person.
With this ticket you can drive the hole day around the states Niedersachsen, Bremen and Hamburg.

The prices for singel rides are not setteled yet But will be around 15 €.
If you have further questions please ask.

And sorry for my late answer. Last week I had my knee surgery.

Cheers Peter
